The bone plate preferably includes screw holes for bone screws and gear means between the plate portions adapted to adjust the relative positions of the plate portions. The plate portions have guide portions which are longitudinally slidable within a guide member. At least one of the guide portions includes a rack; and a gear or pinion is rotatably supported within the guide member engaged by the rack, the gear or pinion having tool-engaging surfaces.
